I suck.

It’s been a month since I last slapped something up here? Dang. Well, here ya go.
Spring has sprung… mostly. Steve built a retainer garden kind of doohickey, right in front of the wellhouse. (Remind me to tell you guys about the new plans for both the wellhouse and the regular house!). It has a concrete foundation and the walls are made from welded I-beam drops. It’s about 20′ x 20′ and 5′ high in the front. Had to move a lot of dirt to fill it! The bottom is filled in with rocks and the usual clay. The topmost layer is good stuff, dirt we’ve been “growing” in the old garden for the past few years. The outside of the garden still needs some cleaning up and maybe painting… or who knows? But the interior is planted! There are three elderberry trees/bushes planted, along with one lonely mullein (it brough babies with it), Egyptian walking onions, Catawissa walking onions, Racambole garlic, elephant garlic, and tons of I-can’t-even-remember-what-they-are garlic and onion types, along with seeded chives, garlic chives, and a big mix of lettuce and spinach seeds.
Yet another gorgeous sunset over the lake.
These next ones, I’m saving for bribe material as the kids reach dating age…
Blackmail! We have a nice collection of those as well.
And no worries that you took over a month (or something like that) to notice my other response.
I’ve been dealing with a multitude of things that have kept me busy including the little monster we call Madison. I really need to post more as well.
Um your picutres didn’t work :p
Paula, do they work for you now?
HA, I hear ya. Crazy kids these days think they need attention and fed and crap like that. Sheesh, what do they think we are? Parents or something? How’s Madison (and the rest of them) doing?
Psst, go read the blog. I finally got around to putting something up there.
Cool pics. I’m ABSOLUTELY jealous on your gardening pics. You can keep the kids; I have 3 of my own and you can’t count on blackmailing them with the weird pics, as anyone who wants them already know they’re weird!
